How to Design a High-Performance Life (style)

February 1, 2020 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

What exactly is a high-performance lifestyle?

It comes from creating a life that enables sustained levels of high performance. It comes down to instilling habits, practices, mental and physical actions that promote sustained excellence. It means doing things well often. It means forgoing other things in order to focus fully on the things you want to excel at. When you decide to live a high-performance life, you are essentially committing to becoming better than most people. It is a decision to move past ordinary into the extraordinary.

Life is about constant motion.

It’s ever changing, fluid, unmolded, and always evolving.

3. He came from an even smaller high school in Crawford, Mississippi (Population: 636)
